I know how hard it is to watch someone you love with cancer. My husband has terminal cancer because he elected after 35 rounds of radiation, chemo and surgery for laryngeal cancer and then another 35 rounds of radiation and 7 chemo for a second primary at the cervical of his esophagus then in February 2013 a diagnosis of a reoccurrence at the cervical of his esophagus and spread to his right lung to stop all treatment.</p>
<p>My mother, even though we know she loved us, never could tell us (my siblings) that she loved us. Even during her last 2 years when she lived with me, she couldn't tell me she loved me. Her parents never told her and her siblings that either. I used to try to get her to say it, and you know she finally did the night she went into a coma and never woke up. She was 9 days short of her 85th birthday when I told her good night and that I loved her. She finally thank me and my husband for all we did for her and said she loved us. </p>
<p>I always tell my sons that I love them but for some people, especially if they were never told that, it is hard for them to say it. And as far as your mother and her health, it is her decision apparently to keep the worse from you. My husband doesn't tell our grown sons how bad he feels because he doesn't want them to worry. In fact he doesn't even really tell me. I just see it in his face and will ask him how he is feeling and if he having a lot of pain. He always tells me no, but his face says yes. And when he goes to the doctor, he is the same way and I have to speak up and say that's not true. </p>
<p>Wishing you and your family the best -- Sharon</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/261485%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/261485%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>
